For starters… Happy Cinco de Mayo! I know we aren’t celebrating the way that we normally would, but let’s take this opportunity to be grateful. We can still celebrate in the comfort of our homes because we are fortunate enough to have a roof over our heads, and we are fortunate enough to make some recipes that so many amazing food bloggers are providing!

Even though this is not a Mexican recipe, I think it still deserves to be eaten on Cinco de Mayo. My Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese is pretty much my favorite creation so far. And to be honest, I did my research. A jalapeno popper resembles a Mexican Chile Relleno, which is usually smothered in sauce, but basically is stuffed with cheese. So I won’t lie… this is a GREAT recipe for today 😉 Speaking of jalapeno poppers, I made a Naan Popper Pizza a while back and this is also one of those that you MUST try out!

Like any other recipe of mine, you know it’s going to go a little above and beyond with the spice. The lasan nu marchu can be omitted if you do not want to use it. In case you don’t have it and you want to make it at home, click here for a simple recipe that is very similar to how my family makes it. As another alternative, you can simply add some chili powder, cumin powder, and minced garlic to your cream cheese to get similar flavors. 

Hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as I do! Always remember the tag me in any photos on @chocolateandcheeseplease !  Thanks for reading! xx
